And when you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) are among them and lead them in prayer, only a group of them should be with you, and they must keep their weapons with them; so when they have performed their prostrations they should move away behind you; and the other group that had not prayed, must come and offer prayers in your leadership, keeping their guard and weapons with them; the disbelievers wish that you neglect your arms and your means so they may overpower you with a single attack; it is no sin for you to lay aside your arms due to rain or if you are sick; and keep your guard; undoubtedly Allah has kept prepared a disgraceful punishment for the disbelievers.
(Dan apabila kamu) hai Muhammad, hadir (di tengah-tengah mereka) sedangkan kamu khawatir terhadap musuh (lalu kamu hendak mendirikan salat bersama mereka) ini berlaku menurut kebiasaan Alquran dalam pola pembicaraan sehingga dengan demikian mafhumnya tidak berlaku (maka hendaklah segolongan dari mereka berdiri, salat, bersamamu) sedangkan golongan lainnya mengundurkan diri (dan hendaklah mereka mengambil) artinya golongan yang berdiri salat bersamamu tadi (senjata-senjata mereka) bersama mereka. (Dan apabila mereka sujud) artinya telah menyelesaikan salat satu rakaat (maka hendaklah mereka) yakni rombongan yang pertama tadi (pergi ke belakangmu) untuk menjaga musuh sampai salat selesai (dan hendaklah datang golongan yang kedua yang belum salat lalu salat bersamamu dan hendaklah mereka bersikap waspada dan membawa senjata mereka) bersama mereka sampai mereka menyelesaikan salat itu.
